Description of problem:
I have a RHCS two-node cluster with configuration managed/distributed by ccs/ricci. Ricci daemon is by default executed under 'ricci' user. With this settings even simple command takes tens of seconds to proceed. E.g.:

$ time ccs -h localhost --lsnodes
ceriha1.hb: nodeid=1
ceriha2.hb: nodeid=2

real	0m21.252s
user	0m0.097s
sys	0m0.028s

During the execution, ricci waits most of the time for virsh to finish:

ricci -u ricci
  ├─virsh nodeinfo
  └─{ricci}

but virsh timeouts on communication with libvirtd through socket:
...
connect(6, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@"/var/lib/ricci/.libvirt/libvirt-sock"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
nanosleep({1, 900000000}, NULL)         = 0
connect(6, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@"/var/lib/ricci/.libvirt/libvirt-sock"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
nanosleep({2, 0}, NULL)                 = 0
connect(6, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path=@"/var/lib/ricci/.libvirt/libvirt-sock"}, 110) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)
gettid()                                = 12788
close(6)                                = 0
gettid()                                = 12788
gettid()                                = 12788
gettid()                                = 12788
write(2, "error: ", 7)                  = 7
write(2, "Failed to reconnect to the hyper"..., 38) = 38
write(2, "error: ", 7)                  = 7
write(2, "no valid connection\n", 20)   = 20
write(2, "error: ", 7)                  = 7
write(2, "Failed to connect socket to '@/v"..., 88) = 88
fstat(1, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x7fa9e7a55000
write(1, "\n", 1)                       = 1
exit_group(1)                           = ?

We use default libvirt configuration and connection from common user shell works fine
$ virsh nodeinfo >/dev/null; echo $?
0

If I run ricci daemon under root, i.e. change RUNASUSER="root" in
/etc/init.d/ricci, the command successfully ends quickly:

$ time ccs -h localhost --lsnodes
ceriha1.hb: nodeid=1
ceriha2.hb: nodeid=2

real	0m0.300s
user	0m0.093s
sys	0m0.039s
